regelation

These facts are the exact complements of those of "regelation;" for here, two moist surfaces of ice being brought into close contact, their liquid liberty is destroyed and the surfaces freeze together.

From The Glaciers of the Alps Being a narrative of excursions and ascents, etc. by John Tyndall

I question, however, the statement, that regelation takes place by the freezing of a film of water between the fragments.

From The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 12, No. 74, December, 1863 by Various

I have already made the usual regelation experiment before you when I compressed broken ice in this mould.

From The Birth-Time of the World and Other Scientific Essays by John Joly

“Has the theory of regelation been put to the proof?” asked Lewis, with a degree of interest in glaciers which he had never before felt.

From Rivers of Ice by R. M. (Robert Michael) Ballantyne
